I had the issue of them phasing out as well. I switched to a character who had not started the Lion's Landing quest line and was able to find them on the beach. They are phased out if you have started it.

Ok so I found the two pups and the adult. on the beach (Karasang ) BUT as soon as I get to close they dissapear.... I cant get close enough for the paw icon to go green. WT ???? has anyone else had this happen ?

Found rare as a secondary to a Jungle Grub at the Incursion (inside the camp itself). Also note: those who have done the Lion's Landing questline are clearly phased -- whenever you enter the area all battle pets disappear. I saw some otters and pups when flying from Jade Forest, but the moment my location changed to Krasarang Wilds / Lion's Landing, all pets disappeared... Oh, and I don't believe it ever appears as secondary in Valley of the Four Winds.

I couldn't find One of these pups, read the comments and tried the island.. I found the mother with two pups. I got an uncommon first try.. So try here at (38/87) Checked the other pup and it was green too!

I was in dispair of ever finding this one as a rare. So, I went to the little islands between the Jade Forest and Krasrang Cove. There I found a Mom and a pup. So I figured I would take on the pup and just wait for the respawn since the mom was still up. With luck, the pup was a rare. So might want to look for the mom here w/ just take on the pups.

I got mine, a poor, as a second to a sifang otter rare right next to Succula - the giant spider in The Heartland (51,27) at the gilded fan. the coords for the otter are (52,27). i saw several others, all poor quality, as adds when battling everything at the gilded fan.

i think this must be my most hated pet to catch as a rare maybe casue im stubborn after 2 weeks i found one had to exit match to heal pets and a dam add came up and killed it, i went thru every pet in ks wilds and did not find another rare, they are ery hard to get, and come as a secondary to all of the wild pets there as well, if you kill the pet upon exit the respawn timer on the pets is pretty fast

Just found one of these in Karasong wilds. Right on the edge of the forest near the wall of the dread wastes. It was mixed with a Jungle grub but there was the grub and 2 otter pups. one poor and one uncommon.

Found on Kilrogg at 3:40 am ST. Good luck all my fellow pet collectors

I couldn't find one anywhere, where the add on was telling me they'd be, so I decided to leave it alone, continue on (had my fill of camping these days, just got my baby ape, lol) And found a rare as a 2nd on a Jungle grub in Krasarang wilds!

Finally found one of these I could tame!! None in Valley of the four winds, and I couldn't find any in Krasarang, even as 2nd/3rds. I did see some around Lions Landing, but as soon as I landed they disappeared :(

38:87 Paw'don glade, Jade Forest. On one of the islands near the boats, a small group of 2 otters and 2 otter pups.

I got my rare one as a second while I was catching my Sumprush Rodent at horde base. I noticed that this pup whas coming with the rodent, and I keep fighting them until I got my blue one!! Hope it helps!
